In a batch of newly released text messages, it appears two high-ranking FBI officials were worried about investigating Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of a private e-mail server for fear that she would become president and seek revenge on the bureau.
On Thursday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released a batch of text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page throughout the course of the 2016 election. The two were allegedly having an affair.
On February 25, 2016, Page sent Strzok the following message when discussing the appropriate number of DOJ and FBI personnel that should be assigned to the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private, unsecured e-mail server during her tenure as secretary of State.
“One more thing: she might be our next president. The last thing you need us going in there loaded for bear. You think she’s going to remember or care that it was more doj than fbi?”
Strzok replied: “Agreed. I called Bill and relayed what we discussed. He agrees. I will email you and [redacted] same.”
While testifying under oath, former FBI director James Comey said he did not know that then-candidate Clinton would not face any changes before the bureau interviewed her. Other released text messages appear to contradict that statement.
Just days before Comey recommended that the Justice Department not press charges against Hillary Clinton, then-attorney general Loretta Lynch secretly met with Bill Clinton aboard a private airplane on a tarmac in Arizona. Around the same time, it was widely reported that if Hillary Clinton won the election, she would keep Lynch on as AG, which caused many to speculate about the the meeting.
You can read the entire batch of text messages here.
This is a two-tiered “Justice” system
run by cross-dressing, amoral, uranium-smuggling,
child-trafficking, sedition-plotting CRIMINALS.
They remember how nasty she was as First Lady
Can you just post what is in the link, please? I have followed links from people on this board, that shut down my computer........don’t like to click on links anymore.
Larry’s Tweets:
The last thing I wanted to do this morning was a thread, but alas, the situation requires it.
Sharyl Attkisson is one of THE best reporters out there, but apparently she never reads twitter. Many of us have said this for some time . . .
2) . . . that DOJ knows exactly what is in this documentation because
SESSIONS. HAS. BEEN. INVESTIGATING. THIS. STUFF. FOR. A. YEAR.
3) The biggest new revelation she offers is that potentially ALL of the FBI’s work for years may now be undone, at risk, and under scrutiny.
4) That of course would be U1, Benghazi (@CharlieDaniels ) Fast and Furious, Lynchmob’s meeting with the Slickster on the tarmac . . .
5) Of course, we all know where this is leading and has been leading for eight years.
To Zero.
6) It is inescapable that once you wash off all the dung, Zero will be sticking out with a pile of interoffice memos with his slimy name checked off, meaning he viewed them.
7) If you don’t know how gubment works, dozens of agencies and individuals will review even the most closely held initiatives/agenda items/strategies.
Each is sent to the Department (say, Justice or Interior) that the policy is related to. That Dept. will vet it.
8) Usually the Sec will pass it down to deputies to check to make sure a policy doesn’t contradict existing law or policy; if so, they will suggest how to reconcile. Of course, you want to have plausible deniability at every level.
9) Therefore, as each policy is circulated, there is a memo attached with a signoff sheet with everyone’s name (or usually, initials) on it. “HC”=Cankles, “JK”=Haughty (Kerry), “BO”=Zero and so on.
10) This was how investigators and special counsel could prove Reagan had no part in the diversion of funds in Iran-Contra. Ollie North generated a memo, but it never got past John Poindexter. “RR” was on no existing memo of the diversion.
11) Here’s the thing about paperwork in gubment. You think you “got it all.” But you never really do.
Some idiot, somewhere, always has the damn memo. North thought he destroyed every copy, but one surfaced and that was it. Game over.
12) So I guaran-damn-tee you, Zero has memos from the FBI, most likely Combover, High Priest (Priestep—not added to nicks yet), and MacBre (McCabe).
13) We know, via Sen. Ron Johnson’s letter, that High Priest was cc-ing Zero because he said so in a text, and worse: he said he was CHANGING Zero’s title from “president” to “a senior administration official” so as to keep Zero safe.
Uh oh.
14) The moron High Priest provided investigators with the Rosetta Stone, with the text equivalent of Urim and Thummim to decipher all High Priest’s text.
EVERY reference to “a senior administration official” in the texts=ZERO!!!!
15) So the fact that the Hill, even though it’s Attkisson, is now admitting that the DOJ knows means the damn is very close to breaking.
16) So here is a bid admission. I was wrong.
Up til now I thought the MAIN reason for not releasing stuff (the Memo) or not indicting people sooner was to protect sources, make sure everything jibed in docs internally in the case of the Memo, and . . .
16) contd: in the case of not yet indicting arresting people, that this has to be done ALL AT ONCE, in a massive mafioso-type sting.
That is all correct. But now I think I missed something bigger.
17) The reason this is taking so long is that Sessions and DOJ have a crisis far bigger than FBI/DOJ/CIA/DIA corruption/partisanship on their hands.
Not only are they looking at the possibility of criminal charges to an ex-prez . . .
17) which believe me would be massive (no president in American history has been served with serious criminal charges after his tenure)
But DOJ now has to consider that EVERY investigation and case the FBI conducted during that period is tainted.
18) Ponder that for just a moment, and don’t be flip. This is incredibly serious stuff. ALL would have to be reopened or re-started. Benghazi, Fast & Furious, other big investigations would have to be redone if Trump requests it.
19) Virtually EVERY major criminal case the FBI brought would now be under scrutiny. You can see the defense counsels lining up across the country.
I’m betting, on top of everything else, Sessions and his team are getting ulcers over this.
20) Zero’s and Combover’s FBI have utterly destroyed American justice, and not just by letting Cankles walk or Lerner skate. Those are big crimes. But in terms of process and procedure their evil has screwed every aspect of justice for almost a decade now.
It’s like she was a Sith Lord in control of the Senate. They all feared her. That said, it’s only because they knew what she was like and that she’d already gotten away with so much, they may have thought she was untouchable...and vengeful.
Not saying I approve. Only that I understand their fear of her.
People who don’t believe THEIR preferred leaders should have to follow the law vote Democrat.
Agree!
WOW! Our very own KGB thugs.
Kind of ironic they were so afraid of the one they wanted in the WH....what does that tell you?
Having Hillary as Executive in Chief should have been the least of their worries. They should been afraid of Arkancide.
I think that is false logic. If it was true they would not have spied on Trump because he might be president.

I don’t think that they ever dreamed that that was even possible.

No, you guys aren’t putting this into the context of DC bureacrats. Remember, these people are inside the beltway. They know that Hillary has been attached to the levers of power for decades in various ways (White House, Senate, State Dept.) and they know how corrupts her enterprises are and they are aware of how her enemies fare.
Trump also may become president, although most people in DC felt it highly unlikely. No... Trump, though a successful businessman, was not someone to be feared in power, in the contexts of power to be feared.
The text messages are priceless.
Thanks for the link. Interesting, to say the least.
All their social contacts and all their media sources told them this wouldn't happen. I keep telling people that we allow ourselves to be put in grave danger by tolerating one party control of all information systems.
I haven't seen the movie, but I have long been aware of the tendency of people who are dangerous to the Clintons to die.
It keeps happening. I read several accounts of people last year who died under strange circumstances, and who were a threat to the Clintons or their foundation.
“Top FBI Agents Discussed Taking It Easy On Hillary: ‘She Might Be Our Next President’”
“That is precisely why they should’ve investigated her more thoroughly.”
The FBI’s motto is `Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity’.
Jack Nicholson as the president said (in the comedy movie “Mars Attacks!” after the Martians ray-gunned Congress into glowing skeletons):
“We still have two out of three branches of government working for us, and that ain’t bad.”
But here it looks like bravery is out the window now, along with integrity.
All that’s left is fidelity. But faithful to ... what?
It’s starting to look like the FBI should be demolished then re-built from the ground up.
The FBI is in need a total makeover. Their reputation is shot.
Obama's growing government, hired thousands more, just like these two, spread across all the agencies he controlled.
